Some hosts still have the type "A" or "AAAA", which means that the host only has one IPv4 (A) or one IPv6 (AAAA) address.
Newer hosts are automatically created as type "A-AAAA" and both IP address types can therefore be stored.
It is possible to combine hosts so that two hosts with the same host name are merged into one.
